Managing the System Remotely

You can configure, manage, and monitor Polycom RealPresence Group systems from a computer using the
system web interface. You can also use Polycom CMA, Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager, SNMP,
or the API commands.
● The Polycom RealPresence Group system web interface requires only a web browser.
● Polycom CMA and RealPresence Resource Manager require the management application to be
installed on your network.
● SNMP requires network management software on your network management station.
● For more information about the API commands, refer to the Integrator's Reference Manual for the
Polycom RealPresence Group Series.
Using the Polycom RealPresence Group System Web
Interface
You can use the Polycom RealPresence Group system web interface to perform most of the calling and
configuration tasks you can perform on the local system. The Polycom RealPresence Group system web
interface is supported for Microsoft Internet Explorer version 9 or later or Mozilla Firefox 22 on Windows,
and Apple Safari 6.0.5 on Mac OS X.

Accessing the Web Interface

To configure your browser to use the web interface:
● Be sure that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 or later, or Apple Safari, as your web browser.
● Configure the browser to allow cookies.
